Three ways to guard your repos

Prevent changes when responding to incidents would be especially hard — not just anytime, but when the team is most vulnerable.

Incident-Driven Protection

PagerDuty fires a P1 and Frost guards your repos automatically. No Slack message required, no human in the loop.

Daily Protection Windows

Define daily periods when response capacity is limited and automatically prevent risky changes.

Scheduled Protection

Pre-declare periods like holidays or launch windows where breaking changes would be especially painful, and enforce restraint.

Override Labels

Emergency bypass with a full audit trail.

Slack Notifications

Keep teams informed about protection status in real time.

Audit Trail

Compliance-ready logs of every protection event.

Teams at Cloudflare, Google, and GitHub already freeze deploys during incidents. Frost automates it.

"In late 2025, after two major outages, Cloudflare declared a company-wide Code Orange — halting non-critical changes and prioritizing resilience above everything else."

"Google's SRE team gates all changes during launches and critical periods — a practice that extends to incident response, preventing changes that compound failures."

"During their February 2021 service disruptions, GitHub froze production deployments for three days to stabilize GitHub.com."
